Harriet May Dawley, daughter of Mordecai Consider and Ruth Raymond Dawley, was boern May 25th, 1851, at Mt. Holly, Vermont. On March 13, 1877, she was united in marriage to Harry G. Armstrong, and until 1881 they resided in Dresden, Iowa, where H.G. was postmaster. In 1881 they moved to Grinnell and together they lived there for forty-one years in loving happiness and connubial bliss.
A quiet and lovable woman, Mrs. Armstrong has lived well her whole life and has made her home a home of love and good will. Her life was notably sweet and useful. She lived not only for her children but in her children also, setting them an example of beauty, pureness, and love and has been rewarded by seeing them grow into lives of usefulness, following the example of one who made her home a model of cheer and who inspired her children with a love for higher education and useful living.
Of Revolutionary ancestry she lived the patriotism she inherited and has left a delightful memory of service well rendered and of a life truly lived.
She was survived by her step daughter, Harriet Hasting, my great grandmother; three daughters, Metta Burd of Cedar Rapids, Ruth Walker of of Webster City IA, Dawley Child of Grinnell and one son, Herbert H Armstrong of Grinnell.
